I don’t want to leave Hackney because that’s where I am from and that’s where I feel safe

BAFTA Rising Star winner Adam Deacon

The working-class guy is destined to become a huge international star after following James McAvoy and Tom Hardy to win the award.

But he has vowed never to leave his working-class roots or his East London council estate behind.

Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, Adam said: “The dream is to take the real, gritty comedy I do from Hackney to Hollywood.

“I don’t want to leave London because that’s where I am from and that’s where I feel safe.

“Of course, I would like to go to Hollywood because I’ve never even been to America but I’m happy in my council flat for the time being.

“Hackney will always be home to me."

Adam shot to stardom in the UK in films such as Kidulthood and Adulthood.

But he doubted he could win Sunday's award going up against the more privileged and high-profile Tom Hiddleston, Eddie Redmayne, Chris Hemsworth and Chris O’Dowd.

Adam, 28, said: “Ten years ago I was sitting in a hostel with nowhere to live. It has been such a hard struggle to get where I am.

“I was signing on and couldn’t pay my rent and didn’t know how I was going to survive.

“To get this kind of recognition obviously gives me a lot of hope but I think the way it’s been voted obviously gives a lot of young people hope as well. If I can do it then there’s no reason why they can’t.”

He will be seen on the big screen next month playing a Premier League footballer in Playback Season.

But he’s already setting his sights on bigger and better films.

He said: “My ultimate role would be a Bond villain – that would be incredible.

“What I want to do is bring the money of Hollywood films and bring them to Hackney and London and make those kind of films back here.
